This novel is the first that I've read that tackles the problem of climate change head-on. An environmental tragedy in Mexico has forced most of the continent's monarch butterflies to find a new winter habitat. Flight Behavior also narrates the story of a young woman, Dellarobbia, who lives on a hard-scrabble farm in Appalachia. She's herded in by a strict mother-in-law, Hester, and even more so by the family's poverty. One day she decides to risk her marriage by having a tryst on the family's mountaintop with a telephone lineman named Jimmy.
After hiking up the mountain, Dellarobbia sees through the fog (despite her severe myopia) that the hills and trees are on fire: hundreds of monarch butterflies have nestled there. The young woman abandons her plan for an affair and returns to her mother-in-law's to pick up her two young kids, Preston and Cordelia.
Dellarobbia's history affects many pieces of the narrative: she's lost both her parents when she was young, got pregnant as a senior in high school, and married Cub to do "the right thing." Then she suffered a miscarriage and it took many years for her to have a child.
She was very smart in school but only had one decent teacher, her English teacher. She never went to college. Yet she defies her parents-in-law in their plans to log the mountain. Somehow the media finds out about the countless monarchs that have arrived in backwoods Tennessee and overnight Dellarobbia becomes a media sensation.
Kingsolver, who studied ecology on the graduate level, knows her science. She also knows the people of Appalachia, how they think, how they react to newcomers and experts. For in a matter of hours, a bunch of college kids, environmentalists, TV crews, and scientists descend upon their land.
The novel is also examines Dellarobbia's and Cub's marriage. Why is she always having crushes on other men? Why does she feel more like Cub's parent than his helpmate? Dellarobbia understands that Cub is a decent and kind man, yet intellectually she feels they have little connection. Complicating things is the arrival of Dr. Ovid, a monarch specialist who moves his study-trailer onto the field behind their house. He and his grads students soon transform the family barn (they pay decent rent) into a real laboratory where Dellarobbia soon learns how to check lipid levels of the butterflies, weigh them, count them scientifically, and record their "flight behavior." Suddenly, Dellarobbia has a career that fascinates her and a passion for her work.
Dellarobbia's best friend Dovey adds humor, and a hint of what Dellarobbia's life would have been like if she hadn't married. Then there's Reverend Billy whose sermons begin to center on the natural world and our responsibility to protect it as the logging deal gets closer to happening.
One of the closest relationships in the book is between Dellarobbia and her son Preston, who at age five has already decided to become a scientist. Together, they study an animal encyclopedia from 1952 and books on lambing because Hester has finally consented to let Dellarobbia help with that aspect of their farm.
The climate change theme never gets polemical though Kingsolver does incorporate a list of things that ordinary people can do to lower their carbon pollution. A fun fact about the book is that all of the female characters' names come from Kingsolver's own family.
Kingsolver really gets inside the heart and mind of this questing woman Dellarobbia--at a time of crises. In a wonderfully tense scene, Dellarobbia helps with a lamb birth, surprising herself with skills and dreams that she never knew she possessed.
Another lyrical novel about butterflies, entomologists, and the fragility of life is Sanctuary Line by Jane Urquhart. For a nonfiction account of the science behind climate change, read The Global Climate Reader edited by Bill Mckibben.

Hiatal hernias are defined as herniation of the stomach into the chest, as the stomach pushes up from the abdomen into the chest cavity. Herniation occurs through the diaphragmatic esophageal hiatus, which is an opening in the diaphragm through which the esophagus connects to the stomach. Depending on the type, hiatal hernia treatment can range from close observation to minimally invasive surgery.
Learn about:
There are four types of hiatal hernia:
Type I hiatal hernia is the most common type. It is also called a sliding hiatal hernia. This type accounts for about 95 percent of all cases. In this type of hernia, the gastroesophageal junction is herniated into the chest cavity, as shown in the picture below.
Type II hiatal hernia is also called a paraesophageal hiatal hernia, in which the stomach herniates through the diaphragmatic esophageal hiatus alongside the esophagus. In the type II or "pure" paraesophageal hernia, the gastroesophageal junction remains below the hiatus and the stomach rotates in front of the esophagus and herniates into the chest (see image below). If more than 30 percent of the stomach herniates into the chest, the condition is also called a giant paraesophageal hernia.
"Pure" type II paraesophageal hernia seldom occurs. Paraesophageal hiatal hernias make up less than 5 percent of all cases, but account for most of the complications.
Type III hiatal hernias are combined hernias in which the gastroesophageal junction is herniated above the diaphragm and the stomach is herniated alongside the esophagus. The majority of paraesophageal hernias are type III (see image below).
In type IV hiatal hernias, other organs in addition to the stomach (colon, small intestine, spleen) also herniate into the chest (see image below).
The exact cause of hiatal hernias is unknown. They are mostly caused by weakening of the muscles of the diaphragm around the esophagus. Other causes that increase the intra-abdominal pressure such as pregnancy will contribute to the formation of hiatal hernias.
Small sliding hiatal hernias (Type I) can be asymptomatic (not causing any problem). The most common symptoms associated with symptomatic hiatal hernias are the following:
Heartburn: Symptomatic patients with hiatal hernia present with reflux disease and complain of heartburn, mostly after eating or at night. About 80 percent of patients with a paraesophageal hiatal hernia (type II hiatal hernia) have heartburn and have an increased amount of acid detected on pH monitoring (studies that detect acid in the esophagus).
Regurgitation: Foods can remain in the hiatal hernia and return back into the mouth. Type II and Type III hiatal hernia can result in mechanical obstruction of the lower part of the esophagus, causing regurgitation of the food into the mouth after eating. This can be associated with a bitter taste in the mouth in patients with reflux disease.
Dysphagia (difficulty swallowing): Hiatal hernias can cause obstruction and delay in emptying of the lower part of the esophagus and the stomach, resulting in dysphagia.
Chest pain: The chest pain commonly occurs postprandially (after eating) and is substernal (behind the breast bone) in location, giving rise to concern that the chest pain is cardiac in origin.
Anemia: Anemia is the most common laboratory finding in patients with paraesophageal (type II) hiatal hernia, and results from damage and ulceration to the lining of the stomach due to compression of the stomach at the level of esophageal hiatus (see image below).
Chronic cough: Chronic cough is caused by aspiration of acid particles in the airway. It is also known that the presence of acid in the esophagus can cause a reflex phenomenon in the airway and cause cough.
By Farzaneh Banki, M.D.
CXR: A shadow behind the heart on a routine chest film is a common mode of discovery of paraesophageal hernia (see image below).
Videoesophagram: This study shows the anatomy of the gastroesophageal junction, the position of the stomach and the presence of other intra-abdominal organs in the chest. In addition, a videoesophagram reveals the esophageal emptying. A large paraesophageal hernia is shown on a barium esophagram in the picture below.
Upper endoscopy: An upper endoscopy can reveal the presence of a hiatal hernia and allows an assessment of the damage to the lining of the esophagus and the stomach. The image below shows an endoscopic view of a sliding (type I) hiatal hernia.
The image below shows an endoscopic view of a type III hiatal hernia.
Esophageal motility study: This study measures the pressure in the lower esophageal sphincter (the valve between the esophagus and the stomach) and the function of the esophageal body.
Esophageal pH study: We routinely obtain a 24-hour esophageal pH study or a 48-hour Bravo capsule wireless pH study to detect the amount of acid in the esophagus in patients with symptomatic hiatal hernia and gastroesophageal reflux disease. We do not routinely perform a pH study in patients with large paraesophageal hernia, since the result will not change our management in symptomatic patients, and the placement of a catheter is challenging and uncomfortable for the patients.
Patients with a small sliding hiatal hernia (type I hiatal hernia) who have no symptoms, do not require any treatment and can be observed closely.
The treatment of large sliding hiatal hernia and paraesophageal hernias requires surgery to correct the anatomy, reduce the hernia and repair the opening in the diaphragm (crural opening).
Traditionally, large sliding hiatal hernias and paraesophageal hiatal hernias were repaired through a thoracotomy (incision in the chest) or laparotomy (a large incision in the abdomen) with a morbidity of 20 percent and a mortality of 2 percent.
The development of laparoscopic surgery has led to the repair of these complicated hernias by a minimally invasive approach, with five small incisions. The procedure is called laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication and is routinely performed at Memorial Hermann.

"Oculars are rather frequently overlooked as possible sources of inferior performance, which is then blamed on the objective," wrote J. B. Sidgwick in the 1955 edition of his classic Amateur Astronomer's Handbook. Although much has changed in amateur astronomy in the decades since, these words still ring true. Take Sidgwick's example of an observer who tries a particular eyepiece on a short-focus reflector and discovers that the images are very poor. Knowing that the eyepiece performs well on a long-focus refractor, the observer blames the mirror — when, in fact, the fault may indeed lie with the eyepiece.
Sidgwick also noted, "The perfect ocular exists only in the astronomer's wistful imagination." While this too remains true, some very good eyepieces are available today. A basic review of telescope optics will help show what can and can't be expected from an eyepiece.
The visual world is a sphere around us. We see everything in terms of angular size on this sphere, but for terrestrial objects we usually do a mental conversion and think of physical size. In astronomy, however, it is often more convenient to think in terms of angles. The Moon appears to cover about ½° because it is some 2,000 miles in diameter and 240,000 miles from us. Any object that is distant roughly 120 times its diameter will appear ½° across.
Let's consider the Moon as viewed through a "pinhole telescope," which is similar in principle to the pinhole camera. When the ½°-wide fan of light rays from the Moon passes through the pinhole, it will continue, as shown in the diagram above. (One property of the pinhole is that its image is in focus at any distance behind the pinhole.) The size of this beam 120 inches from the pinhole will be 1 inch across.
We can replace the pinhole with a lens, which takes light through a larger opening (the aperture of the lens) and brings it to a focus with a resulting brighter image. ln the case of a 120-inch-focal-length lens, the Moon's image will still be 1 inch across.
The f/number of a lens is simply its focal length divided by its diameter. If our lens is 10 inches in diameter then it is f/12. Photographers know that a "faster" lens (one with a lower f/number) forms a brighter image, but in the case of a telescope used visually, a faster objective does not by itself produce a brighter image. More about this later.
In practice there are other differences between camera and telescope objectives. Generally, a camera lens is designed to cover a wider viewing angle and have a lower f/number, while the telescope objective is far sharper over a limited viewing angle. A camera has a piece of film or an electronic sensor at the image plane, but in a telescope the image floats in the air — where we view it with a magnifying lens, the eyepiece.
Let's look at the image from our pinhole telescope with a pinhole eyepiece. (Imagine a piece of ground glass at the focus on which the image falls.) Neglecting exact trigonometry, we can say that the angular magnification is the ratio of the objective's focal length to that of the eyepiece. If the eyepiece has a 1-inch focal length, then the resulting magnification is 120 / 1 = 120x.
With such a system the viewing angle of the eyepiece must be very large if we are to see the entire Moon at once, since we are looking at a 1-inch-diameter image from only 1 inch away. The viewing angle must be about 60°, which makes sense since the ½° Moon appears 120 times larger than it does without the telescope.
The preceding diagram shows the light path in a telescope when we replace the pinhole optics with lenses. We can see that the eyepiece serves two purposes: it "collimates" each cone of light formed by the objective into a cylindrical beam, and it bends the direction of these beams. The diameter of the outgoing beam (called the exit pupil) is equal to the incoming beam (called the entrance pupil, generally the diameter of the objective itself) divided by the magnification. High magnifications produce small exit pupils, while low magnifications produce large ones.
Although we could choose objective and eyepiece focal lengths to yield any imaginable exit-pupil diameter, there are practical limits. The pupil of the average dark-adapted human eye opens to about 7 millimeters (the value becomes smaller as we age). If the exit pupil of the telescope is larger than the eye's pupil, then the full aperture of the telescope is not being utilized. However, neither image brightness nor resolution is reduced at that low magnification.
But one problem can arise from a large exit pupil. If the telescope has a central obstruction, such as the diagonal mirror in a Newtonian or the secondary in a Schmidt-Cassegrain, it appears as a dark spot in the exit pupil with the same relative size that the secondary has to the objective. Thus, if the obstruction is 30 percent of the objective's diameter, then the spot will be 30 percent of the exit pupil's diameter, or more than 2 mm for the 7-mm exit pupil mentioned above. At night, with the eye's pupil opened, this shadow does not present a problem. But during daytime viewing, when the eye's pupil may be closed down to only 2 or 3 mm, the shadow appears as an annoying blockage within the exit pupil. This blockage also falls at the center of the eye's pupil, obscuring the portion of the eye that performs best.
On the other hand, with very high magnifications and small exit pupils, images (except for stars) grow dim, atmospheric turbulence and shakiness in the telescope's mounting are much more noticeable, and "floaters" (particles inside the eyeball) can be annoying. The smallest practical exit pupil is about ½ mm. Since the exit pupil is related to magnification and the size of the telescope objective, and since it should be between ½ and 7 mm, we can simply state that for any telescope the lowest worthwhile magnification is 3.6 times its aperture in inches, while the highest magnification is about 50 times the diameter. Rarely, however, will atmospheric seeing conditions allow magnifications of more than 400 with any telescope.
Apparent and Real Field
The real field (also called the true field) is the actual amount of sky we see. In a telescope it is determined by the focal length of the objective and the diameter of the eyepiece's field stop. In the example above we saw that the apparent field of a 1-inch eyepiece has to be 60° for it to show the entire Moon with a telescope of 120 inches focal length. The real field is approximately the apparent field divided by the magnification. The apparent field is fixed for any given eyepiece.
Apart from those used on "department store" refractors, astronomical eyepieces come in two common barrel sizes — 1¼ and 2 inches outside diameter. The inside diameter of the barrel limits the size of the field stop, thus limiting the maximum real field in a given telescope. If we want an apparent field of, say, 50°, then the longest practical focal length for an eyepiece is 55 mm with a 2-inch barrel and 32 mm with a 1¼-inch. Anything longer will give a tunnel-vision effect — lower power and a constricted apparent field with no change in the real field.
Why would we want a large apparent field? Basically because it's fun. Also, for a given magnification, a larger apparent field means a larger real field, and this is nice, especially if the telescope has no drive and must follow a celestial object by manual nudging. As the apparent field grows, it's like getting closer to the porthole in a spaceship. A 50° field is very nice; 65° is quite wide and spacious; and 80° or more is thrillingly realistic and almost like being there.
Eyepieces usually grow in complexity with large apparent fields. Many traditional designs are not capable of delivering a wide field without major sacrifices in image quality. Furthermore, low f/ratio telescopes put greater demands on eyepieces. A four-element eyepiece with an apparent field of 65° might work well with an f/15 telescope, but would almost certainly give poor images if used with an f/5 objective. To have good images at f/5 with an apparent field of 65° requires a well-designed eyepiece with six or more elements.
Optical aberrations, often mistakenly called distortions, limit the performance of an eyepiece. Generally, the lower the f/number of the telescope, the greater the optical complexity of the eyepiece needed to produce good images. Simple two-element Huygens and Ramsden eyepieces with apparent fields of up to about 40° work quite nicely with high f/number telescopes, but a two-element design cannot be adequately corrected for fields greater than 40° or for low f/ratios.
You cannot judge an eyepiece by its name alone. Some orthoscopic eyepieces have a cemented triplet and a single eye lens, while others have two cemented doublets and might just as well be called Plössls. Even Plössls vary in design details from one to another. It is wise to check out an eyepiece before buying it, or at least seek the advice of others (perhaps astronomy club members) who have used them.
The following is a list of common problems with eyepieces.
Spherical aberration causes a softness of the image in the center of the field. It is not usually a problem with eyepieces that have three or more elements unless used with very fast objectives.
Axial color is the appearance of color fringes around an object at the center of the field. It is rarely a problem with designs using three or more elements, and it is absent from some two-element eyepieces.
Lateral color is seen as color fringes around objects near the edge of the field. This is difficult to "design out" of an eyepiece and can arise from poor manufacturing as well. This aberration may persist even when the eyepiece is used with objectives of high f/number.
Coma causes comet-shaped instead of round star images near the edge of the field. It is not usually encountered in good designs.
Astigmatism causes stars to appear as lines, crosses, or squares at the edge of the field. It is the most significant problem with wide-angle eyepieces, especially with low-f/number telescopes. Using a Barlow lens with the eyepiece will often suppress astigmatism dramatically.
Field curvature prevents an image from being in focus at the center and edge of the field simultaneously.
Distortion in an eyepiece makes straight objects look curved. While some eyepieces, especially orthoscopics, are better than others in this regard, distortion is not usually a problem in astronomical viewing.
Low or High Power?
For viewing planets and close double stars, keep the image at the center of the field where most eyepieces perform best. I suggest using medium powers (20x to 30x per inch), since the contrast is better than at higher powers. Only when atmospheric conditions allow should you use a higher power.
A star, because it is a point source of light, appears the same size and brightness with any reasonable magnification. The f/number of the objective has no effect on a star's brightness, other things being equal. Many people mistakenly believe that the visual image in an f/5 telescope is brighter than in an f/10 instrument. If both telescopes have the same aperture and are used at the same magnification (obviously requiring different focal-length eyepieces), then the images will have the same brightness.
Unlike a star, an extended source such as the Moon, a planet, galaxy, and even the sky background will grow dimmer as the magnification is increased. Such an object's surface brightness is proportional to the area of the exit pupil. Thus, an object viewed with an exit pupil 1 mm in diameter has only 2 percent of the surface brightness it has with a 7-mm exit pupil. Faint stars are best seen at high magnifications since the star's image remains constant while the background grows dimmer, improving contrast.
However, even for nebulae and galaxies higher magnifications aren't bad. As magnification is increased, the sky background grows dimmer at the same rate that the object does, so the contrast remains the same. But with higher magnifications, delicate structure is larger and hence more visible.
I suggest an eyepiece collection that yields exit pupils of ½, 1, 2, 4, and 7 mm. Buy the highest-quality, widest-angle eyepieces you can afford, especially if you use an f/4 to f/6 telescope. Eyepieces, like stereo equipment, improve your whole "record" collection when you upgrade. Every eyepiece and telescope has its own personality. There are guidelines to their use, but no absolutes. Explore the sky with as much variety of equipment as you can. You will soon find that every object exhibits special delights at different magnifications.

Over 100 Private Prison Protestors Converge at GEO Group's Shareholder Meeting
Company denies hunger strike at Texas family detention facility
From Prison Legal News
Boca Raton, FL – Today, over 100 people from across the country joined a protest outside the GEO Group's annual shareholder meeting at the Boca Resort and Club. GEO, a private company, bills itself as the "largest provider of correctional services in the world." Groups participating in the protest included the Human Rights Defense Center (HRDC) from Lake Worth, Florida and the Austin, Texas-based Grassroots Leadership.
HRDC associate director Alex Friedmann, an activist shareholder who owns a small number of shares of GEO Group stock, attended the meeting. When he asked about recent reports of hunger strikes by immigrant women held at the GEO Group-operated Karnes County Family Detention Center in Texas, he was informed by GEO Senior Vice President John J. Bulfin that there was no hunger strike; rather, he said it was a "boycott of dining facilities" at the detention facility.
GEO Group founder and CEO George C. Zoley further remarked that the women detained at Karnes awaiting asylum hearings "have a higher standard of living" than they had elsewhere, implying that they should be grateful for being incarcerated – along with their children – at the company's for-profit detention center.

Thank you for visiting my web site. I will be enlarging it and improving it as time goes on. You can find information about my gigs, music, reviews, and poetry, and listen to samples of my tunes and poetry, here, and you can buy all my recordings from CD Baby.
Check out the Berklee Night event at Pianos - Tuesday, May 21st 2019 from 7 PM to 9 PM.
(More info available in the Calendar.)
Larry Englund of KFAI Radio in Minneapolis - St. Paul did a great interview with me. You can read it here.
My new CD, the fourth in my Dedication series is here. Family Dedications and More contains works inspired by my mother, father, and brother, plus compositions for tenor saxophonist Houston Person, Brazilian composer Antonio Carlos Jobim, and the great drummer Elvin Jones of the classic John Coltrane Quartet. The musicians are Eddie Henderson, Wycliffe Gordon, Bruce Williams, Patience Higgins, Renee Rosnes, Steve Kroon, Peter Washington, and me.
My book of poems, I'm Just the Drummer in the Band, is now available as an e-book!!
You can buy it from Kindle, from Barnes & Noble, from Apple's iBookstore; from Kobo, from Sony, from Scribd. Over the next several weeks, it will become available for other e-readers. You can sample some of my poetry on the Poetry tab on this web site.
My new CD, Personal Dedications & Percussive Tributes, is here!
This is the third in my dedication series for people, places, and moods. Most of my music is autobiographical on some level, some more obvious than others. The compositions on the two earlier CDs in this series, Double Dedication and More Dedications helped me combine the traditions of jazz legends with my own concept of their style, as does "Something about Rollins" on this recording. The CD features Randy Brecker, steve Wilson, Wycliffe Gordon, Patience Higgins, Renee Rosnes, Steve Kroon, Peter Washington, and me.
My Earlier Recordings
More Dedications
A two-disc set, it is essentially Volume II and (or) the extension of my previous CD, Double Dedication. Disc 1 includes my original compositions written for nine more famous jazz masters who inspired me, including Miles Davis, Milt Jackson, Joe Henderson, and Bobby Hutcherson. On, the second, shorter disc, I read poems from my book of poems for famous jazz musicians, I'm Just the Drummer in the Band, for each of the nine musicians, in the same order as the compositions on the first disc, with the music sequenced underneath. The musicians are Mulgrew Miller, Steve Nelson, Wycliffe Gordon, Peter Washington, Duane Eubanks, Patience Higgins, and me.
You can listen to clips from my recordings, including my earlier CDs, Double Dedication, Music and Lyrics and Harlem Sunset, read some of the poems from my book, I'm Just the Drummer in the Band, see a list of my upcoming engagements, and learn more about me. I produced More Dedications, Double Dedication, and Music and Lyrics, as well as writing the music, lyrics, arrangements, and poetry and performing on them, and I am available as a producer for other artists who like my style. I also write lyrics for other people's music, and have been working with Don Sickler at Second Floor Music on some of his projects. I can collaborate with other artists on their lyrics. My band is available for all forms of jazz engagements, from club gigs and concerts to private events, and I specialize in jazz for the jazz lover. I am also available for music and percussion workshops. I hope you enjoy the music!

"Fish & Chips from Bells". Words that are quickly passing into the folklore of Durham City.
Here at Bells Fish Restaurant we serve award winning fish & chips to the very highest standards in a high class setting. Testimony to our standards is the fact that in only a year of operating from the city's Market Place, we have taken our 'Scores on the Doors' grade from one star to five stars.
Quality Decor
No cheap 'cafe' style decor for us; no plastic tables or chairs. At Bells we feel that a world class dish, served in a world class city centre, should be served in a world class place. Hence our heavy investment in our restaurant on both equipment and fixtures and fittings.
At Bells we are proud to serve local people as well as guests from all over the world. You're sure of a warm and friendly reception here at Bells. Just take a look at our menu and remember, at Bells we are now serving beers and wines too.
If you'd rather enjoy your fish & chips the 'traditional' way, our first class takeaway service is available just alongside our restaurant.

The goings-on of human beings have been deeply saddening this week, so let's just go underwater for a hot second. Is that cool with everyone? OK, great.
In order to better answer one of nature's most pressing questions—specifically, "What happens when squid fuck? TELL ME, SCIENCE!"—researchers at the University of Melbourne studied the swimming stamina of dumpling squid during a period of abstinence, and then during a period of energetic copulation. Which, by the way, lasts for three hours and goes something like:
The male restrains the female, pumping jets of water into her mantle and jet, releasing ink and changing color repeatedly.
In other words:
After they were done, the scientists forced the post-coital squid to swim to exhaustion in a flume. As it turns out, without a solid 30 minutes of recovery time, the species' endurance is shot thanks to an overactive production of anaerobic metabolism—it contains lactate, which contributes to muscle fatigue. Their ability to swim is cut in half, leaving them more vulnerable to predators and temporarily unable to forage for food.
"The cost of energetic mating." Now we know.

Oceanside, New York
St. Anthony's Church in Oceanside, N.Y., has grown from 14 faithful people, who attended the first Mass in a firehouse in 1927, to a community of more than 4,800 registered families. St. Anthony's has really been three different parishes — first a shrine parish, then a diocesan parish and finally a Jesuit-directed parish, each one building on the strengths of the past.
The church opened in 1929, and it was so unusual and beautiful, with flowers and singing canaries, that it immediately attracted many visitors. Father Robert Barrett, the first priest of St. Anthony's, used his personal fortune to build and enhance his beloved church and grounds
By the 1960s, more families were moving into the area from Brooklyn and Queens, and the era of the shrine came to a close. A new pastor was assigned and the change from a shrine to an active family parish was complete. A beautiful school building and convent were constructed in 1961, but just over a decade later the diocese closed the school.
The Jesuit Fathers arrived in 1978, and the parish entered a new era. The once empty school building became a vibrant parish center with offices, a pre-school, New Horizons (an alternate high school program administered by the Oceanside Schools), a senior center (administered by Catholic Charities) and a revitalized religious education program for children. These spiritual and educational parish activities at St. Anthony's continue today, where people come for the beauty of the spirituality, the liturgy and the community.

They used Romney's opposition to Obama's auto bailout as a metaphor for his concern for the rich over the poor and middle class. They ran ad after ad saying the Ryan plan would cut nursing home care. They portrayed Romney's tax reform proposal as a giveaway to the wealthy and a tax increase on the middle-class. The accuracy of these charges simply does not matter. What matters is that they were effective. They suppressed turnout and support for Romney among the white working class and preserved Obama's "Midwest Firewall" of Ohio, Wisconsin, and Iowa.
Obama won overwhelmingly the fifth of voters who said the most important quality in picking a president is that he "cares about people like me." The majority of voters who thought the U.S. economic system favors the wealthy broke 71 percent to 26 percent for Obama. A majority of voters said Romney's policies would generally favor the rich, while a plurality of voters said Obama's policies generally favor the middle class. A majority of voters said George W. Bush was more to blame for our current economic problems.
Obama pollster Joel Benenson is right when he says, "The contours of the 2012 presidential race were shaped less by the country's changing demographics than by the underlying attitudes and values of American voters." The attitudes and values of the Obama coalition, including Hispanics, are much more favorable to a robust and active federal government and safety net. These voters see government support for the poor, middle class, and elderly not as a matter of accounting but of morality. The Romney campaign failed to convey an economic message responsive to these attitudes and values while ceding the ground of social and cultural debate to the left. The result was a drubbing for the GOP and a reality check for conservative pundits (like me).

Electronic program guide technology provider Rovi disclosed through a regulatory filing that it has entered into a multi-year licensing agreement with LG Electronics for the use of its patent portfolio in "all LG products." Deal terms were not provided.
According to the filing, the new licensing agreement "includes the dismissal of all current lawsuits," which presumably includes this complaint for patent infringement filed by Rovi against LG in May 2012 in the US District Court for Delaware.
The catalyst for the new arrangement between Rovi and LG may be the fact that LG recently won a patent infringement case filed by Rovi in German courts.
According to Korea Times article, Rovi filed for an injunction with the German court against LG Electronics in April 2012, to ban sales of its televisions, claiming LG has infringed on technology patents for its products. The lawsuit came as LG Electronics rejected Rovi's request to pay license fees for its patent. LG Electronics argued that the patent claimed by Rovi Corporation is irrelevant to its products, adding the U.S. firm's stance on the scope of patent is "too broad."
German Courts ruled in favor of LG in December 2012.
Re-Affirms Business Outlook
Rovi, which also owns Divx and codec provider MainConcept, used the filing to re-affirm its business outlook for 2013, saying that "while the settlement with LG was successfully achieved earlier in the company's fiscal year 2013 than previously anticipated by the company, the company continues to expect the timing of adjusted pro forma revenue to be approximately 47% and 53% in the first and second halves of 2013, respectively."
Rovi says it expects its adjusted pro-forma revenue for 2013 to be between $630m and $660m, and adjusted pro-forma income per common share to be between $1.90 and $2.20, excluding discontinued operations. The company also said its revenue expectations for the fiscal first quarter, ending March 31, 2013, are unchanged from previously issued guidance.

Caltrans identifies homes for possible sale on controversial 710 route
January 9, 2013
Home owned by Caltrans at 1200 So. Pasadena Ave. in Pasadena. Caltrans bought homes in the area in the 50's to 70's to make way for the 710 Freeway extension into Pasadena.
The state transportation agency bought the properties up to six decades earlier in preparation for the potential connection of the Long Beach (710) Freeway from its current terminus in Alhambra to Pasadena.
The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority's report on the five remaining alternatives for closing that gap will be finalized this month, allowing Caltrans to identify surplus homes.
The study identified the five primary alternatives that will be evaluated in an environmental impact report: light rail transit, bus rapid transit, transportation system management, a freeway tunnel and a no-build option.
Lauren Wonder, spokeswoman for Caltrans, said 17 homes have been identified as surplus, but there is no timeline for putting them on the market.
In the meantime, the agency informed tenants in 350 homes last month that their rent will increase by 10% on March 1, while rents at 210 residences will remain the same.
In August, the California state auditor found Caltrans failed to collect $22.5 million in recent years by charging below-market rents, inadequately oversaw repair work and neglected the properties.
Suzanne Reed, chief of staff for State Sen. Carol Liu (D-La Cañada Flintridge), said the senator continues to believe that the best outcome for the properties is selling them.
Liu put forth legislation last year that would have required Caltrans to sell any homes it no longer needed, but Gov. Jerry Brown vetoed the bill.
Because the homes were originally acquired in anticipation of a surface freeway, which is no longer being considered, at least some of the homes should be identified for sale, Reed said.
Reed said if Caltrans is sincerely ready to put homes on the market, Liu would look at proposing legislation to amend the Roberti Bill, which sets the conditions under which Caltrans can sell the homes and offers some current tenants the first chance to buy.
The bill requires that Caltrans provide repairs required by lenders and government housing assistance programs. Reed said Liu was looking at an amendment that would allow Caltrans to forgo these repairs and dock the sale price accordingly.
"It would be legislation that fulfills the needs of everybody," Reed said. "It facilitates the expeditious sale of the property … instead of asking Caltrans to fix them up with money they just don't have."
Christopher Sutton, an attorney for the Caltrans Tenants Assn., said he doesn't expect the homes to be sold any time soon, as the state agency is intentionally delaying a sale to drive up prices and push his clients out.
"The goal is vacancies; the goal has always been vacancies," Sutton said. "Caltrans doesn't want to be accused of setting low rates, but they get no criticism for vacancies … Caltrans is biased toward vacancies, and allowing historic properties to deteriorate to nothing."

I have a problem on installing fedora.
I have already installed windows 8, and I have two different partitions (C (for windows), and D(for data)).
I had also shrink the size of D by 50 GB, in order to create this free space to install fedora.
However the fedora installer recognises only one disc, and not all the partitions I have made. Therefore it is possible that if I install fedora, my windows installation might be lost.
What should I do? I just want to install linux at that specific 50GB partition...
Thanks in advance

Training for parents to recognise and respond to signs of stress in premature babies from as young as 30 weeks could improve their brain development, according to studies.
Triaining for parents to recognise and respond to signs of stress in premature babies from as young as 30 weeks could improve their brain development, according to studies.
More than half of premature babies have developmental difficulties of varying severity including learning, social and behavioural problems that persist to school age.
With some evidence that stress could impair development of premature babies' brains in the crucial first year of life, Austin Hospital psychologist Jeannette Milgrom designed a program that initially taught parents of 68 premature babies in two Melbourne neonatal intensive care units to recognise signs of stress.
''We were able to show that you can teach parents to interact with their babies differently, they can learn the stress signals of their baby, and we found that resulted in very early gains in development in these babies,'' she said.
''With premature infants the signals are quite varied - it's subtle things like whether the babies are flailing their hands, whether their colour tone is changing and how they are breathing.
''These babies are very susceptible to stress, their nervous systems are not yet fully developed and they experience any environmental change - even having a bath - as quite stressful.''
In nine weekly sessions in hospital followed by a home visit, psychologists taught parents how to care for their babies while respecting their particular needs.
''These babies do interact quite differently from full-term babies - they are not good social partners, they don't make eye contact, they shut down a lot and you need to respect that because that's their way of saying I need time out,'' Professor Milgrom said.
Parents were also taught techniques to soothe babies - including through skin-to-skin contact and gentle massage - and when to employ them.
Babies whose parents received the training had fewer problems with sleep and excessive crying and were better at communicating with their parents at three months compared with babies whose parents did not receive the training.
Researchers also showed improved brain development, as measured on magnetic resonance imaging scans, in babies whose parents received the training.
Professor Milgrom, who presented details of her research at the Australian Psychological Society's annual conference in Perth yesterday, is testing the program in a larger group of 123 babies who are now aged four.
She will follow the children's progress to age six in a bid to show that training parents to respond to stress has resulted in long-term benefits to babies' development.
Already children whose parents received the training have shown promising gains, including improved communication and behaviour, raising the prospect that the training could be offered to parents of all premature babies.
The series of groundbreaking studies could help thousands of infants born early in Australia each year.

I am looking for a Pod manager(Adobe Flex) like UI and experience for my dashboards. I am new to WPF. I tried searching for layout manager controls - no help. Dunno if it possible in WPF.
Any suggestions. Atleast if it is not possible using WPF is there any control like (synfusion or Devexpress, not available in these two).
I have attached a demo of FLEX pod manager for your reference.
Try to minimise or close any of the charts. The way charts move is absolutely amazing.
Thanks in advance

A History of Insurance: from Pirates to Providers
When the pirates landed they were often disappointed by the booty. Along with Captain Jack Sparrow they were always yelling, "Why is the rum always gone?" Set up in 1513 as a military outpost to protect shipping interests in the region, St. Augustine, Florida is the oldest European city established in the United States. As with any maritime trading, the need for this outpost came because of the frequency of pirates raiding ships. For the first two hundred years the little inlet city in Florida was quite the hot spot of conflict with pirates, Spain and England competing for the area. Merchants were pulling gold and other New World goods out of the region and shipping it back to their different markets. But how did these different markets protect themselves against the risk?
Risky Business
Today if we live in St. Augustine, we may check out a website or call someone to get Florida insurance quotes, but these companies weren't always a bedrock institution in a culture. Insurance, as a concept, reaches all the way back to the Chinese and others who first discovered the sea as a conduit for moving goods and services. Insurance at its core simply means that a person wants to reduce the risk. So for the Chinese and others when multiple ships were used, they would simply try to spread the more valuable assets across their boats so that if a pirate or accident sunk one ship, they didn't lose all the precious cargo. Well soon enough people who wanted to sponsor a shipment of goods wanted some wanted some way to mitigate lost money if the ship sunk. That led to financial backers loaning the money on a voyage as long as they got a fee or premium on the loaned money. In fact Lloyd's of London, although not an insurance company, traces its roots back to a coffee house opened by Mr. Lloyd in the late 1680's. Frequented by merchants and seamen, it became the best source for shipping news and deals were often struck over a cup of Joe. In fact the term underwriting came directly from Lloyd's where the backer's literally wrote their name under the risk information on a form Lloyd's generated for these transactions.
Accidents and Acts of God
But what if the person in St. Augustine calls for Florida insurance quotes just had an accident? Other people took on ways of trying to help their fellow men when it didn't have to do a shipping voyage. Sometimes it has been through governmental intervention. Other times it has been through commerce. Ancient monarchs would receive gifts of tribute from all of their tribal groups in their confederation. A specific gift of more than 10,000 gold pieces would be registered in the treasury from each tribe. It was important for each of these tribes to make this donation because if something went wrong in the tribe and they needed help, their representative would approach the monarch about lending aid to cover the damages. If their name was in that register, then the monarch would help.
But in more modern times the same person in St. Augustine asking for Florida insurance quotes would have to look back to London again in the late 1600's. Due to the Great Fire of London of 1666 an enterprising merchant names Nicholas Baryon took it upon himself to insure buildings against loss. This was England's fire insurance company.
Whether it was the ancient monarch or Nicholas Baryon the way insurance operates is to generate a large amount of capital reserves to draw against in the event of a loss due to accident. Insurance companies have developed huge reserves in order to help out their clients in an accident. Especially now, however, they still fall under the bounds of a contract and are governed by specialized legal situations. At a base level an act of God speaks to an impossible event that occurs, not allowing one party to fulfill their end of the bargain. For instance if a car dealer promises to sell a customized car to a client, and the next day a tornado rips through the area, the car dealer may argue that the tornado made that impossible and can they legally be let out of the deal.
Insurance companies, like Floridainsurancequotes.net, make these impossible events their business on a limited basis. Fire insurance, which is many times deemed an accident, spread to other types of natural disasters like flooding and crop failure. Within their structured rules modern companies have written policies to help protect people's property in the event of one of these events occur. Many times, however, these are specialized insurance policies that have to be purchased outside a person's normal homeowner's coverage.
Just for the Health of It
So now the St. Augustine person has a sniffle and starts calling for Florida insurance quotes? Where did that start? Chancellor Otto von Bismarck of Germany popularized plans that offered accident, medical and life coverage for different workers. This was the precursor to many of the governmental expectations of insurance among our modern systems in Europe and the U.S.
Like many other systems, however, these first started out as mutual aid societies where everyone pitched in. In 1887 some African-American workers in Iowa all donated a dollar toward a fund where they all worked in a company town. Members could access the fund for medical needs. The larger system we know now developed when individual hospitals offered the same model by letting consumers pre-pay into a fund in the event they needed help. That has expanded into our current model of using a network of providers for our various health needs. So from pirates to providers, we all use insurance for a variety of reasons. Hopefully you find the services you need.
